Abstract
The rapid advancement of manufacturing technologies, including automation, robotics, additive manufacturing, and artificial intelligence (AI), is reshaping the global job market. These innovations are enhancing production efficiency, reducing costs, and improving product quality. However, they also pose significant challenges to the labor market by displacing traditional jobs while creating new opportunities in high-tech and skilled fields. This paper explores the impact of advanced manufacturing technologies on job market evolution, focusing on the transformation of job roles, required skills, and employment trends. We examine how automation and AI are influencing job displacement and creation, and the skills that workers must develop to remain competitive in the evolving manufacturing landscape.
